Growth habits of lucky rabbit ear
The lucky rabbit ear is native to the highland regions of Namibia, enjoys a sunny environment, and requires appropriate shading in summer, not too shady. It prefers warmth, and the temperature in winter should not be below 10 degrees. It grows very slowly, the plant shape is not too large, and it has branches.
Propagation methods of lucky rabbit ear
Lucky rabbit ear propagation can be done by cutting and rooting, and stem cutting is very simple. Take down the healthy old branches, let them dry, and plant them in slightly moist sandy soil. They will basically grow roots in a cool and ventilated environment within 15 to 30 days. Cutting should be done in spring and autumn.
Cultivation methods of lucky rabbit ear
1. The lucky rabbit ear is kept in a sunroom with full sunlight. During the growing period, keep the soil slightly moist and avoid waterlogging. The soil used is a mixture of coal slag, peat, and a small amount of perlite, with a ratio of about 6:3:1, and the surface of the soil is covered with river sand.
2. The lucky rabbit ear can tolerate a low temperature of about -2°C when the potting soil is dry. This is the indoor temperature, not outdoors. Watering is basically stopped during the entire winter, and it should start to gradually reduce watering when the temperature drops below 5 degrees.
3. When the temperature exceeds 35°C in summer, the growth of the entire plant basically stops. At this time, reduce watering to prevent root rot due to excessively moist potting soil. Strengthen ventilation, provide appropriate shading, and avoid direct exposure to strong sunlight.
4. Avoid long-term rain on the lucky rabbit ear, as it can easily rot, and the white hair does not dry easily when it gets wet. Since it grows relatively slowly, changing the pot every 2 to 4 years is fine. Do this before the first watering in early spring.
